Raspberry Lemonade
This raspberry homemade lemonade is sweet and tart. The color is incredibly vibrant and so appetizing. You get a good dose of Vitamin C and refreshment during the day! All you need to do for this one is just blend raspberries, mix them with water and lemon juice and strain through a strainer or a plant milk cloth or bag. I personally use a fine stainless steel strainer and stir with a teaspoon while pouring it through to help to push the liquid into the glass. Feel free to add mint, ice cubes, and serve cold for extra refreshment!
Cucumber-Apple Lemonade
I actually made this lemonade with lime instead of lemon. I like lime better in this combination because lemons tend to be sweeter than limes and in this lemonade apple juice is already sweet enough! Cumber adds an extra refreshment and unique taste. To make this delicious lemonade you need to juice cucumber and apples in a juicer or blend them and strain the juice out. Then simply add lime juice and water, mix and enjoy! I prefer keeping my cucumbers and apples in a fridge before making this lemonade and use cold water or add ice cubes for extra refreshment!
Watermelon-Basil Lemonade
This watermelon-Basil Lemonade is the sweetest lemonade of all three. And also the easiest to make because we just blend the watermelon with some lime juice and basil and enjoy it. Of course, the sweetness level of this lemonade depends on how sweet your watermelon is. I prefer using sweet and seedless watermelon for this lemonade to make the process easier. Lime and Basil balance the sweetness of the watermelon and add extra notes of tartness to your drink. I do not recommend straining the watermelon lemonade because watermelon is basically all water and all we need is just blend and leave the fiber in.
